Episode Info

Season 3 begins three years after the Guilty Remnant descended on Miracle, Texas, where Kevin is now chief of police, a job that isn't made any easier by the fact that the seventh anniversary of the Sudden Departure is two weeks away, and many citizens are convinced that another apocalyptic event is in the offing.

Turns out Easter Sunday gave us way more than Easter Egg Hunts and a chocolate bunny overdose. The Leftovers did not miss the opportunity to use Resurrection Sunday as the perfect launch pad for Season 3.

Most of "The Book of Kevin" involves throwing us into the deep part of the water along with Kevin so we can get used to all the changes in the present, and the many things that are sadly still the same.
